PROEL WS6MBK - Pack of 6 Foam Windscreens for Handheld Microphones (Black)
Optimize your live sound quality and protect your equipment with the Proel WS6MBK , a professional set of six foam windscreens designed for handheld microphones. This essential accessory is crucial for any sound engineer, musician, or rental company looking to maintain hygiene and clarity in their productions. Manufactured by Proel, a leading brand in stage equipment, these foam windscreens offer an economical and effective solution to the most common acoustic problems in vocal environments.
The high-density foam used in the WS6MBK acts as a transparent acoustic barrier. This means it effectively eliminates unwanted wind noise outdoors and plosives (the loud "P" and "B" sounds) in close-range vocal performances, without sacrificing the microphone's natural tone or frequency response. Its matte black finish provides a discreet and professional look, ideal for stages, conferences, and broadcast studios.
Main features
-
Standard Universal Fit: With an inner diameter of 25 mm, the foam is flexible and fits perfectly on most standard handheld dynamic microphones on the market (ball type).
-
Economic Pack of 6 Units: Ideal for equipping the whole band, having spares in the studio or managing hygiene at events with multiple speakers.
-
Physical Protection: In addition to improving audio, it acts as a shock absorber that protects the microphone's metal grille from minor impacts, scratches, and moisture buildup.
-
Porous Acoustic Material: Specifically designed to allow sound to pass through while quickly dissipating air pressure (wind/breath).
Product benefits
Using the Proel WS6MBK transforms the microphone experience for both artists and engineers. By drastically reducing pop and wind hiss, it simplifies sound mixing, requiring less corrective EQ. From a hygiene standpoint, these windscreens provide an essential barrier against saliva and bacteria, allowing for easy swapping or washing between users, thus extending the microphone capsule's lifespan by preventing internal oxidation from moisture.
Use cases
-
Live Stages and Festivals: Essential for vocalists outdoors where breezes can ruin the sound recording.
-
Rehearsal Rooms and Karaoke Bars: Perfect hygienic solution for places where microphones are shared by many different people.
-
Lectures and Public Speaking: Avoid annoying breath sounds when the speaker gets too close to the microphone.
-
Interviews and Journalism: Protects field recording against moderate ambient noise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do they work with any brand of microphone?
Yes, the 25mm diameter is standard for the vast majority of dynamic handheld microphones from well-known brands (such as the Shure SM58, Sennheiser E series, etc.). The foam has some elasticity to ensure a secure fit.
Can these windbreakers be washed?
Yes, it is recommended to wash them periodically with warm water and mild soap to maintain hygiene. They should be allowed to air dry completely before being placed back on the equipment.
Do they affect the microphone volume?
The volume attenuation is imperceptible. Its main function is to filter air turbulence, keeping the clarity of the voice intact.
